Choosing the Unthinkable, Then Singing About It by Claudia LaRocco

“Removable Parts” is …almost perversely pleasurable… but also desperately sad and layered with other meanings… Amputation, especially when it’s self-imposed, is a loaded and problematic metaphor. Mr. Dargel and company handle it with an intelligent grace that is as moving as it is impressive.

Body Shop by Alex Ross

…[S]elf-mutilation serves mainly as a metaphor for the less desperate measures human souls may resort to as they confront psychic pain. The result is at once uproarious and harrowing; one moment Dargel is prancing gawkily about in a style that might be called Weimar Village People, the next he is curled up in self-inflicted agony.
